The stability of the board was excellent, even when overclocked. No problems were found with running our standard burn-in tests. Performance was inline with other boards based upon the nForce3 chipset and a bit faster than the Shuttle AN51R which Doc reviewed very recently here. The test system is our standard benchmark system for the 939 platform.
